Questions

Asked by every employer.

Thresholds, due dates, penalties, and how we work.

Our consumer practice has resolved 1,100+ stuck EPF cases — and every one of them began as an employer's filing done wrong. We run employer compliance with that hindsight: records set up the way the person untangling them ten years later wishes they had been, and filings checked against how they fail — not just whether the portal accepts them.
Fees are scoped to your engagement — headcount, states, and the services in scope — and agreed in full before any work begins. Registrations are one-time engagements; ongoing compliance runs as a monthly retainer. The scope defines the fee, and an agreed fee does not move mid-engagement.
Our team calls you back to understand your headcount, states and what you need. If there is work to do, we tell you exactly what and discuss charges transparently before anything begins. If there is not, we say so.
Yes — that is the normal case. We quantify the backlog, regularise it in order of risk, and then keep it clean. Voluntary regularisation before a notice is consistently cheaper than remediation after one, in both penalties and management attention.
Yes, end-to-end — as standalone engagements or within a retainer. Our consumer practice has spent years reading these departments' notices from the other side; we know what each one is actually asking for, and that diagnosis comes before any reply is drafted.

Talk to us.

One conversation, and you'll know exactly where you stand.
